Dead or alive

Republicans plan to pass out wanted posters today at a 1:30 p.m. hearing on suspending tax credits. One of the four bills up for consideration today is House Bill 1191, which eliminates the tax break on candy and soft drink – hence, the Easter Bunny and Cupid.

“These are super-duper clever,” Sen. Mike Kopp, R-Littleton, said when he saw them.

(Super-duper? Boy, you can take the boy out of South Dakota but you can’t take the South Dakotan out of the boy.)

The posters are the work of Senate GOP press spokeswoman Rachel Boxer.
